2. RSOO Role to ICAO Strategies – 3.1
SARP and Guidance Material Amendments, GASP, SSP, SMS, RASG, USOAP-CMA
Responsibilities for RSOOs are increasing
RSOOs have significant resource constraints
RSOOs need to cooperate more and share technical resources and experience

3. Safety Oversight System
RSOO Role to ICAO Strategies – 3.1

4. Safety Oversight System
Resources required to Establish (and then maintain) the safety oversight system are extensive even for States/RSOOs with limited aviation activity
Resources remaining to Implement the system are often lacking
Correlation between accident rates and lack of effective implementation for CE 6,7, (Implement) is very strong
One Solution - move resources from Establish to Implement
RSOO Role to ICAO Strategies – 3.1

5. RSOO Cooperative Network
RSOOs could establish collaborative network for sharing outputs/best practices
Especially important for “new” or major changes to ICAO requirements
Example – Amendment to Annex 6 introduced Foreign Air Operator requirements and resulted in a major revision to ICAO DOC 9355 – Manual of Procedures for Operations Inspection, Certification and Surveillance (new program)
RSOO Role to ICAO Strategies – 3.1

6. RSOO Cooperative Network- Example
Establish State Foreign Air Operator (FAO) Requirements
Collaboration between ICAO, Asia Pacific COSCAPs, EASA, FAA, Singapore
Outputs
Model regulation
FAO Validation and Surveillance Handbook
FAO Training Course

7. RSOO Role to ICAO Strategies – 3.1
Possible ICAO Role
Assess the resource impacts of all ICAO outputs on safety oversight system
Where the resource impact is significant and need is great - Identify champion(s) (RSOO or State) to develop model that can be readily adapted to implement the ICAO requirement
Communicate with concerned stakeholders
Facilitate and ensure timely delivery of outputs
